People with business degrees get a ton of crap in tech circles (god knows I've sent my share of snark their way over the years ;) ) ... but at the end of the day, there is value to someone learning those things, and people have been

Just because you say you will pay your employees and do right by them, doesn't mean someone else will do the same ... for every one of you, there's someone who will happily exploit someone else, and whether it can be attribute

A well off industrialized nation making progress on energy and pollution reduction would a) demonstrate what things works, and b) provide investment dollars into those technologies, which _usually_ results in optimizations and lowering of c

minimal ... it's a few thousand dollars, and after a certain point in income, that deduction goes away entirely no matter how many children you have.

I mean, early stage startups fit your description, sure ... but I can't imagine many startups surviving much traction if those things don't start being looked at soon enough. Of course, some do (see twitter's Fail Whale), but

This isn't exactly rocket science ... my daughter just started college, and as a tech industry employee let me tell you, she got no financial aid (some other academic things aside). When we started filling out the student loan paperwor

This is the first time I've actually heard Esperanto spoken aloud ... very cool, thanks for posting. What drove you to learn Esperanto originally?

Peppa is also the subject of a weird tiktok meme at the moment (or maybe the moment's passed already ... I don't know, I'm old and lame :P ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0uxRav86NI

Most of the others commenting here have seem to have small children, so of course their feedback is going to highlight all the ways in which their lives have changed. To offer a counter-point, my daughter is 18 and off to college (literally

Without having read the article, and not being a biologist ... is this anything like HPV/Cervical cancer for humans?

This wasn't really necessary to point out ... I'm not a 3d artist, I don't need to do this, which is why 1) not free professional tools and b) non-intuitive free software UI, was enough of a barrier to keep me out. I'm

I keep hearing that blender's UI is no longer the domain of dark wizards ... between the cost of the paid products, and the funky UI of older versions of blender, I could never quite get into 3d modeling and design. Maybe it's tim

I was an XNA MVP ... worked on a bunch of community content/articles. Was working on a game towards the end, but then the windows phone era of XNA came in and diverted my attentions, and by the time I'd made more progress on my ga

I'll add on to the "comfort crying baby" point ... once you cover the basics (clean? fed? dry? warm? burped? etc), sometimes babies just cry, and that's ok. Obviously you should be mindful and watchful over their conditi

The more I get into synthesizers, the more I want analog controls (knobs, sliders, buttons, VC cable inputs!)

Lol, if the author tattoos themselves, it changes nothing. That would be equivalent to someone chopping off their own limb, getting a prosthesis, and then (being a mental giant that can put words in order) penning an article in 15 minutes (

There's a huge difference between: 1. Not liking something and 2. Going out of your way to write a long article detailing all the shortcomings of those that partake in the thing you don't like. Of course you have the right to disl

To be fair ... even if it's the placebo effect, couldn't that be argued to be "good enough"? Just like Dumbo's feather, if you feel better then you felt better ;)

I'm not disagreeing with you (I've never used this service you linked) ... but what becomes "the town square" has nothing to do with how optimized or tuned it is for that purpose. People are gonna do what people are gonn

Are you an unreliable, selfish, and inconsiderate man? If the answer is yes, then it's an attack on you ... if however you work to be reliable, selfless, and considerate, then it's not an attack on you. Surely, you have to a

Sounds like you have internal knowledge of this process ... how does it work, do you have to formally tell your boss that your fridays will be spent on 20% time? do they need to give you permission? or do you just have to sneak the time in

I'm curious if you wouldn't mind sharing what was the context around that pitch, and your subsequent response. It sounds like you didn't go forward with implementing that ... was it your decision to not move forward, or were

But really, why be bored? If you find yourself bored, just use the new resources you have at your disposal to do something interesting! Being part of a large company comes with a number of benefits, whether it's access to smart folks
